The One With A Sign

"'It hurts.'

'Of course it does,' you smiled sadly. 'The hurt is how we know it was love. The absence we feel is proof that what we had is something that can be lost.'

'And when does it stop?'

With dark eyes like a cloud before rain, you replied, 'If it was love, it won't.'"

— Beau Taplin

Standing there on the platform, I do the job I've grown to know. At this point, this is my fourth show and it's not as bad as the first one was. Nadia's advice really helped me to take this job for what it's worth.

I'll admit, I still don't see myself doing this long term. There are aspects of it that remain bothersome to me and I haven't exactly gotten over them. Instead, I've been pretending as if they don't annoy me.

There are three facets of modelling at these expos that I've enjoyed so far, though. The first of which is the money. Although I've never struggled with money, it's still extremely nice to have those extra funds. It gives me a bit more purpose to be able to save up something extra, in case I need it at some point in the future. I've actually been thinking about going away somewhere when my mental health is a bit better, simply because I think I deserve it.

Second, it's been nice to have some sort of schedule. Hayes was right about that. Even though he advised that it could do the opposite—and actually do bad—I've been finding that it's been helping me. At least, I believe it to. It might seem ridiculous, but it helps me routinely shower, eat, and converse with humans other than Chase, James, and Zara.

Lastly, I've enjoyed getting to know both Nadia and Jin. I find hanging out with them to bring me a sense of comfort that I've begun to crave. It's oddly normal being with them and they make me laugh in moments of stress, which I appreciate. They both seem to be super nice and they're fun.
